<p class=MsoNormal>This documentation demonstrates an example of how FeedSync can be used with RSS to allow bi-directional
synchronization of RSS files.<span style='mso-spacerun:yes'>&nbsp; </span>Specifically,
this document demonstrates in a stepwise, series of updates, how two endpoints
can apply and exchange modifications to a RSS file.</p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>The initial RSS file used in this example is a simple to do 
list, which is modified by two endpoints via a series
of Create, Update and Delete operations.<span style='mso-spacerun:yes'>&nbsp;
</span>The series of updates captures the modifications and merge results of
each intermediate step in a sequence of operations. This example uses the
following pattern for each series of modifications:</p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>

<ol style='margin-top:0in' start=1 type=1>
 <li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3;tab-stops:list .5in'>There
     are two endpoints, named Endpoint 1 (EP1) and Endpoint 2 (EP2) each of
     which subscribes to and publishes the same <span class=SpellE>to do list</span>,
     stored in a RSS file</li>
 <li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3;tab-stops:list .5in'>The
     two endpoints start with an identical &#8220;initial&#8221; <span
     class=SpellE>to do list</span> RSS file (this is &#8220;version 1&#8221; of
     the <span class=SpellE>to do list</span>)</li>
 <li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3;tab-stops:list .5in'>For
     each step in the series of sequences, each endpoint performs some specific
     operations resulting in a new version of the RSS file,</li>
 <li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3;tab-stops:list .5in'>The
     endpoints then exchange and merge files, resulting in a new version of the
     RSS file.</li>
</ol>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.25in'><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>You can navigate through each test case using the left hand
frame, and view the results of each of the steps in the series.<span
style='mso-spacerun:yes'>&nbsp; </span>When viewing XML files, your browser may
display a warning &#8211; it&#8217;s ok and will not interfere with the use of
the tutorial.</p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Notes:<span style='mso-spacerun:yes'>&nbsp; </span>This
series of RSS files was generated using a test script and a series of
JavaScript utilities, which are documented in <a
href="Running%20the%20Scripts.htm">Running the Scripts</a>.</p>
